Nomenclature for a cycloalkane with a extra carbon bond share
« on: September 23, 2007, 01:41:16 PM »
Hi everyone I was hoping to get a little help trying to find the proper nomenclature for a cycloalkane that shares a bond at 1,4 (I'm assuming those carbons as my 1,4). The ring itself has 7 carbons. I'm new to organic chemistry so I'm confused as to how this ring would be named. The actual model (when I built it) looks similar to a 5 carbon ring (cyclopentane) connected to a 6 carbon ring (cyclohexane). Here is a rough line drawing of what I was given to name. Thanks to everyone who take their time to read this and I appreciate any input.
